THE TANNEB INCIDENT.
1t Closed Last Night With Little
Satisfaction for the "SnOb,"


LONDON, July 21.-Dr. Tanner (Home
Ruler, member for Middle Cork, ap-
peared before the house of commons
this afternoon, in obedience to it's sum-
mons, to explain the charge made by
Mr.. Long Conservative, member for
the Devices division of Wiltshire, that
the doctor had, in the lobby and in
presence of several members, called
Mr. Long a damned SnOb" and used
other improper language. Dr.. Tanner
said he regretted the trouble the house
had been put to about the matter. Mr..
Longs manner and language when he
approached him Or. Tanner In the
lobby were part of an arrangement to
annoy him. Mr.. Long twice importuned
him, and said in reference to bis exclu-
sion from the division Ca matter over
which he was still very sensitive):
THAT was nice sell you got" Here
DR.. Tanner said he was sorry
for replying to Mr.. Long as
indecOrouS expressions. Mr.. Long arose
and denied Dr.. Tanners statement, de-
claring he did not make use of the all
legged words about sell. George
HawkswOrth Pond Conservative, MEM
ber for East DOrSetShire, and James
PigWOOd Conservative, member for the
Brentford division of MiddleSeX, were
present, and they could confirm his
statement. Both gentlemen confirmed
Mr. Longs statement. Patrick O'Hea
(Home Ruler), member for West Dom
egal, said he also was present and that
he heard Mr.. Long say ''That was a nice
sell you got" Mr., O'Hea added that
Dr.. Tanner was jeefed at by Mr.. Long
md hi Il Tr,I I'll
Uiberal UnioniSt), member for South
St. Pancras, urged that the house let the
matter drop. William Henry Smith,
the government leader, said he regretted
that he was unable to accept Sir Julian
Goldsmids advice. DR.. Tanner had
offered no explanation of his failure
to attend the house last Monday,
when the matter was first brought on.
Parliament must mark its sense of his
misconduct in some manner. If q
months suspension was too long, the
term Of suspension would be shortened.
Mr.. Gladstone cOntended that DR..
Tanners apology should suffice Mr..
Smith had introduced an ill-advised ele-
ement into the discussion by suggesting
that DR.. Tanner imputed a falsehosd to
Mr. Long. Did not Mr.. Long in a
like manner impute falsehood to DIR.
Tanner? Was an imputatiOn upon an
Irish member one thing, and an impu-
tation upon an English member an-
other? Cheers. The speaker here in-
tervened ard told the house that DIR.
Tanners apology should be held to
cover the offence of which he was ac-
cused. Mr.. Smith thereon withdrew
his motion and the incident ended.
Lord Randy in a Hole.
By Cable to the Globe
LONDON, July 21.-The statement
made by Justin Mccarthy at the Parnell
dinner last evening that Lord Randolph
Churchill had impOrtuned the Nationals
ist party to make him parliamentary
candidate for an Irish seat in the house
of commons on an extreme home rule
platform has done his lordship no good.
If it has not indeed worked him harm,
and already his friends are calling upon
him to deny it. That, however, would
be difficult matter for him to under
take, since it is alleged that certain cor
respondence on the subject which
passed between Churchill and the gem
tleman who acted as gO-between at that
time is still i'll existence, and will be forth
coming in the event of any display of
indignant refutation on the part of the
erStWhile conservative leader.
